CAMP!

 hello during the past two week we have had to write three different things of what we did at camp. WE wrote what we saw heard smelt tasted and felt and added description I hope you enjoy.

A trio of camp tales

Aero Jump

As I rise into the air I can see people behind the gate staring at me and when I look down the trampoline rises up to meet me. Suddenly the huge poles above me catapult me into the atmosphere. I wonder how I don’t fly into space. The feel of the harness holding me in place digs into my stomach. I feel Like I'm flying. Air zooms into my nose as I fly into the sky and fall back down with terrific speed.

The sound of people chatting meets my ears as they wait for their turn but the aero jump is silent. A feel of excitement hits me like a bullet when I complete my back-flip. But it turns to sadness when my ride is finished.

Zipline

At first I'm confident, but it quickly vanishes when I look down. The ground is miles beneath me and everyone is as small as smallish birds. The grass is so tiny I can’t find a stalk. I look up as I try to push down the fear, the forest trees loom ahead of me far out of my reach. People below me chant sacrifice in time with each other. I take a deep breath, trust the gear, and step off the platform. Everything becomes a blur as the smell of pine trees zoom into my nose, I hear a soft zzzzzz sound as the pulley carries me to the end though the wind refuses to stop trying to push me back. The harness holds me in place, even though it's tight I don’t mind. I remember air dancing on my tongue as I reach the end.

Archery

The target ahead of me taunts me as I hold the bow in my hand. I reach for an arrow and I feel a sense of determination come over me. People behind me talk as I concentrate. I let go and watch as the arrow zooms through the air and hits the blue circle on the target. A cheer arises as I stand with pride, a smile fixed on my face

I really enjoyed making these stories and I hope you enjoyed reading them I did. please comment which one is your favorite.

Media

During the last two week for cyber-smart  we have been learning about media which is every way to communicate with others. (to learn more go to uru manuka.) we had to make a online news paper about what we did at camp so that's what we did. I hope you enjoy it and learn something new.

I really enjoyed making this post and others. It was heaps of fun adding little details to the post. I hope you enjoyed What was your favorite part?

Digital Technology

 Today we were doing a hour of gaming (click this link then click the first of the two links it takes you to). Its an site with heaps of different coding games. We could choose what we did so I tried a couple before I settled on a app on how to make a game. My game included a character trying to catch some bags of spicy beefers. The more bags you get the more points you get. These are a few screenshots of my game.

I think I did pretty well and will keep working on it to make it better. 

I hope you liked my post.

have you ever done some coding before?

pixton

 Hey guys today we had to join a few toolkits and one of the ones I joined was one about how to use pixton. pixton is an app you can use to make comics. the people running it told us how to sign in and use the app using a slideshow they made. the sound was a little glitchy but understandable. its an easy to use app for all your writing needs here is the slideshow.

It was very helpful and I soon caught on how to use it. I really like this app and will probably use again soon.  go though the slideshow to use the app yourself.

Tapa Cloth

 Today we have been working on something called tapa cloth. it is a Tongan blanket thingy made from native plants. we read a story about an art teacher that knew the art was fading in NZ and wanted to bring it back so she went to Tonga to learn how to make it and then came back to NZ to make it here. One of the activities we did was pretending we were writing a email to a friend about how to make tapa cloth. this is my email.

I quite liked doing this email. It was fun. I hoped you liked my post. 

have you ever wrote a email? did you like my post?

spectacular Scale

Today we are learning about scale. We had to measure and draw our classroom. the key was 1m = 2.5cm and 20cm = 0.5cm. some people found it hard but I didn't (not to brag of course) This is what I did.

 I learned how to use scale and read it. I liked doing it cause it was fun. I hope you can see it.

Can you scale a room?

what did you think?
